Chapter 225 Military Exercises; Provocation



"Your Highness."

Seeing Ling Zhou, these senior Lanling military officials stopped and saluted.

Ling Zhou's face straightened and he returned the salute in a standard manner.

He still gave 100% respect to the soldiers who protected Lan Ling.

"General Zhou, has something happened?"

Ling Zhou asked the leading officer who was in his 50s.

This General Zhou, named Zhou Xing, is one of the most powerful generals in the Lanling military, commanding one-third of Lanling's navy.

Hearing this, General Zhou said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that our Lanling Kingdom has been silent for too long, and the warships and cannons have not been used for a long time. Some monkeys couldn't help but jump out and wanted to test whether our blades are still sharp."

"oh?"

Ling Zhou became curious.

Could it be that any other country or organization has provoked Lan Ling?

General Zhou glanced at Yu Yin and said nothing more.

Some things involve military secrets and cannot be said in public.

Lingzhou is a prince and is qualified to know.

But Yu Yin and Chen Yiru are not qualified.

Ling Zhou naturally understood this logic, nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Highness, you are here to look for His Majesty, so we won't disturb you."

General Zhou said.

Ling Zhou smiled upon hearing this and said, "Well, I want to talk to my father about something. But General Zhou, please stay in the palace for a while. I may need your opinion on these matters later."

General Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and nodded.

Afterwards, Ling Zhou asked Chen Yiru to receive General Zhou and others, while he brought Yu Yin to Ling Wenbo's study.

"Father, General Zhou and his men are coming. Is someone trying to attack Lan Ling?"

Arriving at the study, Ling Zhou asked directly.

Ling Wenbo glanced at his son, shook his head, and said to Yu Yin who followed in: "Yu Yin is here too, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Yin thanked him politely and sat down.

Ling Wenbo smiled with satisfaction and looked at his son.

"General Zhou is here because Japan and Africa are going to conduct a large-scale military exercise in the Sanyang Sea."

Ling Wenbo said, not minding that Yu Yin was there too.

Yu Yin has made a great contribution to Lanling. The discovery of the oil field will enable Lanling to develop rapidly, so he is qualified to know these things.

Ling Wenbo's words stunned Ling Zhou and Yu Yin.

Ling Zhou and Yu Yin looked at each other, and they seemed to be saying in their hearts: "What a coincidence?"

Immediately, he asked, "Father, what is the purpose of their military exercise?"

He would not be naive enough to think that Japan and Africa's military exercises near the Lanling Sea were just for military exercises.

"It's just to disrupt our border waters and test Lan Ling's reaction."

Ling Wenbo said without any hesitation.

Obviously, he didn't take it too seriously. In this world, apart from the five big gangsters, there was no country that could give him a headache. He didn't care about the small countries around him.

At worst, we can just throw a few big ones over there to teach those small countries a lesson.

It’s not like we haven’t done that before.

Besides, as my son grows up day by day, he should know that the Lanling Kingdom is not as peaceful as imagined, so that he can have a sense of urgency.

"So what do you mean, father?"

Ling Zhou tried to ask.

Hearing this, Ling Wenbo looked at his son.

Why did his son suddenly care about these things? You know, in the past, whenever he mentioned politics, military affairs, economy and the like, Ling Zhou would fall asleep, but this time he actually took the initiative to ask about these things.

But he was happy with it, and smiled, which was rare for him, and said, "As long as they don't cross the line, let them play as they please."

Hearing this, Ling Zhou nodded, his face straightened, and said, "Father, I have a suggestion."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Ling Wenbo asked with interest.

He also wanted to know what his son suggested.

"Sink their military exercise fleet and occupy the Sanyang waters on the pretext that they have invaded Lanling."

Ling Zhou raised his head, his face straightened, and he spoke in a forceful tone.

These words made Ling Wenbo stunned. He perked up and looked at his son seriously. Why did his son become so ruthless this time?

"I know my father is confused."

Ling Zhou smiled and looked at Yu Yin, "Let Yu Yin explain for father now."

Ling Wenbo nodded, looked at Yu Yin, and had some guesses in his mind.

"Your Majesty, this morning..."

As she spoke, she told him everything about the world-class oil field without hiding anything.

Listening to Yu Yin's narration, Ling Wenbo's face was calm, but he was also shocked. At the same time, he also understood his son's plan.

The intention is to take advantage of the Japanese and African military exercises to create an opportunity and a reason to seize the Sanyo waters and that world-class oil field!

The oil field has a reserve of 6 billion tons. As a monarch, he was also tempted.

Oil is the world's main energy resource.

Although the world's oil-importing countries are calling for the development of new energy to replace oil every day, for example, the reserves of combustible ice are twice as much as the existing natural gas and oil reserves, and countries around the world are secretly conducting new energy research and development.

But, at least for now, and even for the next few decades, oil will still be the world's most important energy resource.

There are countless wars in the world, most of which were caused by oil.

For example, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the civil wars in some African countries, etc., weren't they all wars that broke out for energy resources?

If this rich treasure is taken down, it will definitely be a great benefit to Lan Ling's development.
